Synthrotek RND - DIY Build

The Synthrotek RND (Random) is a 4HP random voltage generator that is part of the slider series from Synthrotek. With its ambient LED sliders and black panel, the module is a perfect fit for anyone trying to toss a little spice into their tracks.
RND carries its own internal clock or it can be patched by an external clock, giving the user a varying degree of control with regard to tempo. Apart from this, it also has a CV (control voltage) of the clock, so that your random voltages will always be in sync with whatever you patch into it.
Sounds cool huh? We thought so too and now let’s get on with the build.
Let's start with the logic board...
Like the other modules in the slider series, the Synthrotek RND is a relatively quick and easy build thanks to the detailed assembly instructions that are provided via the Synthrotek website. As we jump into the build, we start with the diodes and resistors. Since there are only a few of each, we placed everything prior to tacking it down.
We did use top down soldering on all of the resistors and diodes since there was plenty of room to get your iron into the soldering points. Once this was complete, we flipped the PCB over and trimmed the leads. This is a good spot to double check the flow of solder and reflow anything that needs it.
